I have some jerk posting links into the comments field of the reviews section of one of my sites. He's using a script of some sort.

As I don't use the comments, I'm trying to de-activate them. Can anyone help?

1) My first thought is to use .htaccess. I am trying to prevent access to the first part of the string:
"modules.php... reviews.... =postcomment"(this isn't coming out right in the message)
but can't work out the comand to do it correctly (nothing seems to work).

Can anyone advise?

2) I've looked at the code in nuke, but can't work it out (I'm no programmer). Anyone know of a quick and eay block on this function?

The site is very static but has lots of info. This guy has been wrecking it for me by sticking dozens of links in every night. The only way I could stop him was to deactivate Reviews, which lost a lot of the good content.

Now I can re-activate again and have the site back up to full strength. No-one ever posts comments anyway.

Good thinking. I just tried it and it didn't make any difference. I could still post by running the above URL string.

I stuck it in the main .htaccess in the root, exactly as above. Is that the right place, or is it intended for the \Reviews sub-directory? I always thought the main root htaccess would percolate down through all the sub-directories.
